The Writing Center is a tutoring lab designed to meet the needs of SUNY Canton students. Whether a freshman or a senior, a nursing major or a graphic design major, everyone's writing can benefit from the help of a responsible tutor. We offer assistance with academic reading, writing, and study skills across a variety of disciplines. Our mission is to help students improve their writing skills in an environment where they can write and seek feedback with ease. Please take a look at the information and links below to find out how we can best serve you.

How to have a successful Writing Center experience:

Seek assistance early. Do not wait until the day your assignment is due or an hour before class starts to meet with a tutor. Allow yourself enough time to attend several tutoring sessions if necessary.

Come with something written. Even brainstorming or free-writing about your assignment is a start.
